Elizabeth German

Attorney Liz German leads Robinson & Henry's Probate and Elder Law Team. She is a formidable litigator with extensive experience in federal and state courts. Liz combines compassion with pragmatism to help clients approach complex legal matters, such as trust litigation, guardianships, conservatorships, elder law, long-term care planning, and Medicaid pre-planning.
